At the Pitt Meadows Museum we have been offered a Winchester reflex action
riffle that was used by a local farmer, pioneer resident and former mayor of
the community.  He used it while serving in the local Coast Militia Rangers
during World War II.  The problem we have here is that no one on staff has
the necessary permits to transport or own the weapon.  Does anyone know if a
Museum can recruit a volunteer with the necessary permits to act on behalf
of the organization?  I do realize I could go looking for this information
myself but I am hoping there is a reader out there who has been in the same
position and came up with an interim solution.  The rifle is presently with
the RCMP (they don't have the answer) and is slated for disposal if we (or
another suitable facility) does not take on the donation.

 

Any help is very much appreciated.

 

Thank you.
